I've tried a number of guides on this issue, but so far I cannot get php5enmod mcrypt to work.

Ubuntu 12.04
PHP 5.3.10

Here is the output ls of /etc/php5/conf.d and /etc/php5/mods-available

root:~# sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo: php5enmod: command not found
root:~#

What's the exact error you have, please ? – Benoit Jul 10 '14 at 7:24
    
command not found is the exact error – Guardian Jul 10 '14 at 15:39
    
Please, be more specific. The error is simply command not found, without any other string? Could you copy/paste the string and update your question? – Lety Jul 10 '14 at 16:02

php5enmod was introduced in Debian in version 5.4.0~rc6-2 of the package php5 (see the changelog, Ctrl+F is your friend). Since Ubuntu packages are imported from Debian, it is only available in PHP 5.4+ packages in Ubuntu as well.

i looked up upgrading from 5.3 to 5.4 and it fixed the problem, thank you! – Guardian Jul 10 '14 at 20:54

@GauravDave Yes, it is. If you know a static URL to the changelog of the Debian PHP 5 package, feel free to edit. – fkraiem Aug 30 '16 at 6:04
    
I have php 5.6.30 installed, but still no php5enmod. – Brent Jul 22 '17 at 18:47
    
@Brent Are you using Debian or a derivative with official distribution packages? – fkraiem Jul 22 '17 at 22:40
